DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be explained below with reference to the figures.

First Embodiment

Configuration

FIG. 1 illustrates a configuration of a power generation plan creating system according to a first embodiment.

A power generation plan creating system 10 of this embodiment includes, in a main block 1, a condition setting unit 11 that sets a time slot, etc., at which a user desires a planning, a power-quality-condition setting unit 12 that sets, for a frequency fluctuation and for a voltage fluctuation, upper/lower limit values, fluctuation range, and a calculation start condition, respectively, a power-quality-condition changing unit 13 that changes those conditions, and a power-generation-plan calculating unit 14 that sets operation costs based on the set planning time slot and power quality.

In addition, the main block 1 includes a blackout rate calculating unit 15 that calculates a blackout rate for each blackout time, a risk calculating unit 16 that calculates a risk using a predetermined calculation formula, a whole cost integrating unit 17 that adds the blackout risk obtained by the risk calculating unit 16 and the operation costs obtained by the power-generation-plan calculating unit 14 to integrate the whole costs, a determining unit 18 that determines whether or not to complete a calculation based on the condition set by the power-quality-condition setting unit 12, and an outputting unit 19 that selects and outputs a power quality condition which minimizes the whole costs.

Still further, the power generation plan creating system 10 is capable of utilizing an external demand predicting system 21. Moreover, the power generation plan creating system includes, as external databases, an operation planning DB 22, a blackout characteristic DB 23, a blackout risk DB 24, and a whole cost DB 25.

The demand predicting system 21 is a system that supplies power generation amount information to the condition setting unit 11. The operation planning DB 22 stores information to be utilized by the power-generation-plan calculating unit 14, and stores, for example, power generator performance information, such a power generation amount, a time, and weather information, facility constraint information, such as the number of activations/deactivations of a power generator, a track constraint, and a minimum electric accumulation amount, and prediction information, such as weather information and a singularity.

The blackout characteristic DB 23 stores data to be utilized by the blackout rate calculating unit 15, and stores characteristics representing a relationship between a frequency fluctuation allowable range and a blackout rate for each blackout time, and characteristics representing a relationship between a voltage fluctuation allowable range and a blackout rate for each blackout time.

The blackout risk DB 24 stores data to be utilized by the risk calculating unit 16, and stores a total damage compensation amount per a blackout time determined according to each time. The whole cost DB 25 stores data on whole costs for each power quality calculated by the whole cost integrating unit 17.

Power Generation Plan Creating Method

An explanation will now be given of a method for creating a power generation plan through the power generation plan creating system 10 employing the above-explained configuration with reference to FIG. 2.

Step S11: Condition Setting Step

First, when the condition setting unit 11 sets a time slot at which the user of this apparatus desires a planning, the condition setting unit 11 obtains scheduled power generation amount information regarding the set time from the external demand predicting system 21. Example scheduled power generation amount information is expressed as “from Month A, Day B, Hour C, Minute D to Month E, Day F, Hour G, and Minute H: II kWh”.

Step 12: Power Quality Condition Setting Process

Next, the power-quality-condition setting unit 12 sets, for each of the frequency fluctuation and the voltage fluctuation that are the barometers of the power quality, an allowable amount in accordance with a time slot (voltage fluctuation (±) allowable range and a frequency fluctuation (±) allowable range. The unit is % or Hz and kV), and the upper or lower limit value of allowable level to start a calculation, and, an margin of the allowable level.

Step S13: Power Generation Plan Calculating Step

The power-generation-plan calculating unit 14 sets operation costs that minimizes a power generation unit price based on the power generator performance information, the facility constraint information, and prediction information all obtained from the operation planning DB 22, with reference to the set planning time slot and the initial value of the power quality (i.e., the voltage fluctuation allowable range and the frequency fluctuation allowable range at the time of the start of the calculation both set by the power-quality-condition setting unit 12). When the operation costs are set so as to minimize the power generation unit price, e.g., the conventionally well-known scheme disclosed in Patent Document 1 is applicable.

Step S14: Blackout Rate Calculating Step

Next, the blackout rate calculating unit 15 checks characteristic data stored in the blackout characteristic DB 23 in advance to calculate the blackout rate for each blackout time.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, the blackout characteristic DB 23 stores data on, for example, characteristics representing a relationship between the frequency fluctuation allowable range and a blackout rate for each blackout time, and characteristics representing a relationship between the voltage fluctuation allowable range and a blackout rate for each blackout time. In addition, the blackout characteristic DB 23 also stores data on a blackout time determination table that associates a blackout time with an event in order to set the aforementioned characteristics.

In this case, example applicable data that can be stored in the blackout characteristic DB 23 is characterized data through a malfunction simulation using a simulation model which simulates a system configuration in advance. In addition, when a blackout time is set based on a simulation result, the blackout time may be set in accordance with criterion including the blackout time determination table illustrated in FIG. 3. Next, the blackout rate due to a frequency fluctuation and the blackout rate due to a voltage fluctuation are compared with each other for each blackout time, and the higher blackout rate is set to be the blackout rate corresponding to the blackout time.

Step S15: Risk Calculating Step

The risk calculating unit 16 calculates a risk by multiplying the blackout rate for each blackout time by a damage compensation amount that is set in accordance with that blackout time. As to the calculation formula of the risk, the following formula (1) is applicable.

$\begin{array}{cc}\left[\mathrm{Formula}1\right]& \\ \mathrm{RISK}=\sum _{\mathrm{BLACKOUT}\mathrm{TIME}n}\left(\mathrm{WHOLE}\mathrm{DAMAGE}\mathrm{COMPENSATION}{\mathrm{AMOUNT}\left(\mathrm{YEN}\right)}_{\mathrm{BLACKOUT}\mathrm{TIME}n}\times \mathrm{BLACKOUT}{\mathrm{RATE}\left(\mathrm{TIMES}\right)}_{\mathrm{BLACKOUT}\mathrm{TIME}n}\right)\mathrm{WHOLE}\mathrm{DAMAGE}\mathrm{COMPENSATION}\mathrm{AMOUNT}=\sum _{\mathrm{CONSUMERm}}\left(\mathrm{DAMAGE}\mathrm{COMPENSATION}{\mathrm{AMOUNT}\left(\mathrm{YEN}\right)}_{\mathrm{CONSUMERm}}\right)& \left(1\right)\end{array}$

In this case, a blackout time n is an assumed blackout time, and can be set as, for example, n=1 second, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 1 minute, 10 minutes, 1 hour, . . . and 1 day, and the like. In addition, a consumer m represents the total consumers subjected to damage compensation due to a blackout.

The risk calculating unit 16 obtains the risk for each blackout time n through the above-explained formula (1), and accumulates the calculated risks. Information necessary for the calculation is stored in advance in the blackout risk DB 24. Data stored in the blackout risk DB 24 is a total damage compensation amount per a blackout time determined according to each time. As is indicated by the calculation formula (1), this amount is a value obtained by adding the damage compensation amounts of all consumers who are connected to a target system.

In this case, the damage compensation amount differs consumer by consumer and time by time. In the case of, for example, a hospital or a stock market that has a large impact to a society, the damage compensation amount is large. In general, various companies are running their own businesses in the daytime, and thus the damage compensation amount to a blackout is large, but is small in the night. Still further, the damage compensation amount differs depending on the season and the day like the year-end and new-year season and the end of a month with a large number of accountings. This amount should be set in advance based on a research result of a past example damage compensation case, etc.

As an example, it can be set that “in a time slot A-B in a weekday, total damage compensation amount is JP AA YEN/minute per a blackout time, and the breakdown thereof is that, first consumer: JP BB YEN/minute; second consumer: JP CC YEN/minute, and the like”, “in a time slot C-D in a weekday, total damage compensation amount is JP DD YEN/minute per a blackout time, and the breakdown thereof is that, first consumer: JP EE YEN/minute; second consumer: JP DD YEN/minute, and the like”.

Step S16: Whole Cost Integrating and Data Storing Step

Next, the whole cost integrating unit 17 adds the risk due to a blackout which is obtained by the risk calculating unit 16 in accordance with the power quality and the operation costs obtained by the power-generation-plan calculating unit 14 to integrate the whole costs, and stores the integrated data in the whole cost DB 25.

Step S17: Calculation Completion Determining Step

The determining unit 18 determines whether or not to complete the calculation for all cases under the condition set by the power-quality-condition setting unit 12. When the calculation has not been completed yet (step S17: NO), the power-quality-condition changing unit 13 adds or subtracts the margin set by the power-quality-condition setting unit 12 relative to the voltage fluctuation allowable range and the frequency fluctuation allowable range calculated right before, thereby changing (step S19) the power quality condition. Subsequently, the processes subsequent to the step S13 are repeated.

Step S18: Whole Cost Minimizing Condition Output Step

Conversely, when the determining unit 18 determines (step S17: YES) that the calculation has been completed, the outputting unit 19 refers to the whole costs for each power quality stored in the whole cost DB 25, and selects and outputs the power quality condition that minimizes the whole costs.

Advantageous Effects

The power generation plan creating system 10 of this embodiment enables a creation of a power generation plan with details, such as for each time slot, and for each singular day including a holiday, a weekday, and a long holiday season. For example, for a time slot like the night at which a blackout risk is small, a power generation plan for decreasing the power quality and also decreasing the whole costs can be created.

Therefore, it becomes possible to make an operation plan that minimizes the whole costs which include the costs of a blackout risk that is in a trade-off relationship with the power quality, and the operation costs.

Second Embodiment

Configuration

FIG. 4 illustrates a configuration of a power generation plan creating system according to a second embodiment. In this case, the same structural element as that of the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numeral, and the duplicated explanation thereof will be omitted.

A power generation plan creating system 20 of this embodiment employs the same configuration as that of the power generation plan creating system 10 of the first embodiment except that a consumer anti-blackout preparation DB 31 to be utilized by the risk calculating unit 16 is provided outside the main block 1.

The consumer anti-blackout preparation DB 31 stores, as information researched in advance, data relevant to a risk reduction, such as the presence/absence of an uninterruptable power source (UPS) device, a UPS backup time, the presence/absence of batteries, and battery remaining level information (e.g., the capacity and the SOC secured level %).

The power generation plan creating system 20 performs, in the risk calculating step of the step S15, a calculation by the risk calculating unit 16 in consideration of a risk reduction using the consumer anti-blackout preparation DB 31. A risk calculation formula of this embodiment can be expressed as the following formula (2).

$\begin{array}{cc}\left[\mathrm{Formula}2\right]& \\ \mathrm{RISK}=\sum _{\mathrm{BLACKOUT}\mathrm{TIME}n}\left(\mathrm{WHOLE}\mathrm{DAMAGE}\mathrm{COMPENSATION}{\mathrm{AMOUNT}\left(\mathrm{YEN}\right)}_{\mathrm{BLACKOUT}\mathrm{TIME}n}\times \mathrm{BLACKOUT}{\mathrm{RATE}\left(\mathrm{TIMES}\right)}_{\mathrm{BLACKOUT}\mathrm{TIME}n}\right)\mathrm{WHOLE}\mathrm{DAMAGE}\mathrm{COMPENSATION}\mathrm{AMOUNT}=\sum _{\mathrm{CONSUMERm}}\left(\mathrm{DAMAGE}\mathrm{COMPENSATION}{\mathrm{AMOUNT}\left(\mathrm{YEN}\right)}_{\mathrm{CONSUMER}m}\times \mathrm{AVOIDANCE}{\mathrm{COEFFICIENT}}_{\mathrm{CONSUMER}m}\right)& \left(1\right)\end{array}$

In this case, a blackout time n is an assumed blackout time, an can be set as, for example, n=1 second, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 1 minute, 10 minutes, 1 hour, . . . 1 day, and the like. In addition, a consumer m represents a total consumers subjected to a blackout damage compensation.

When compared with the formula (1) of the first embodiment, the formula (2) differs therefrom that an avoidance coefficient is set. The avoidance coefficient becomes “0” when a consumer carries out a complete blackout avoiding preparation, becomes “1” when no preparation is carried out, and becomes a coefficient between 0 to 1 when a preparation contains an uncertainty. When the uncertainty to avoid a blackout is expressed as a blackout avoidance achievement rate by a probability, the avoidance coefficient becomes “1−blackout avoidance achievement rate”.

Advantageous Effects

The power generation plan creating system 20 of this embodiment considers consumer anti-blackout preparation information in the risk calculating step of the step S15, enabling a risk reduction in accordance with an anti-blackout preparation by the consumer. Hence, when a power supplier further reduces the power quality, the power generation costs can be further suppressed.

Third Embodiment

Configuration

FIG. 5 illustrates a configuration of a power generation plan creating system according to a third embodiment. The same structural element as that of the first or second embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numeral, and the duplicated explanation thereof will be omitted.

A power generation plan creating system 30 of this embodiment employs the same configuration as that of the power generation plan creating system 20 of the second embodiment except that an anti-blackout-facility-data updating unit 41 that automatically updates data relative to the consumer anti-blackout preparation DB 31 is provided outside the main block 1.

The anti-blackout-facility-data updating unit 41 has a function of automatically updating information stored in the consumer anti-blackout preparation DB 31. More specifically, pieces of data on, for each consumer, a UPS backup time (h), and a battery SOC set level (%), and the like are acquired online through a communication line like the Internet. As to the acquisition timing, a consumer may transmit pieces of data, or the anti-blackout-facility-data updating unit 41 may periodically check the data storage of a consumer, and may update the data when there is a change in data contents. Hence, anti-blackout-facility data for each consumer can be updated to the latest information. In addition, operation plan information on, for example, batteries including time information may be obtained from the consumer to update the data contents.

Advantageous Effects

According to the power generation plan creating system 30 of this embodiment, the anti-blackout-facility-data updating unit 41 automatically updates data stored in the consumer anti-blackout preparation DB 31 to the latest information. Therefore, an anti-blackout preparation by the consumer can be precisely reflected on the operation plan.

Fourth Embodiment

Configuration

FIG. 6 illustrates a configuration of a power generation plan creating system according to a fourth embodiment. The same structural element as that of the above-explained embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numeral, and the duplicated explanation thereof will be omitted.

A power generation plan creating system 40 of this embodiment employs the same configuration as that of the power generation plan creating system 10 of the first embodiment except that, right next to the power-quality-condition setting unit 12, a power-quality-plan setting unit 51 is provided which sets in advance the lower limit value of the power quality for each time slot.

The power-quality-plan setting unit 51 sets, for each of the frequency fluctuation and the voltage fluctuation, the lower limit value of the fluctuation allowable amount as illustrated in, for example, FIG. 7. The fluctuation allowable amount may be set through a function formula which has a time as a parameter.

Advantageous Effects

According to the power generation plan creating system 40 of this embodiment, the power-quality-plan setting unit 51 in a main block 2 sets the lower limit value of the power quality in advance for each time slot, thereby enabling to make an operation plan based on consumer needs. For example, an operation plan that increases the power quality only during the daytime of a weekday at which factories are in operation can be made.

Fifth Embodiment

Configuration

FIG. 8 illustrates a configuration of a power generation plan creating system according to a fifth embodiment. The same structural element as that of the above-explained embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numeral, and the duplicated explanation thereof will be omitted.

A power generation plan creating system 50 of this embodiment employs the same configuration as that of the power generation plan creating system 20 of the second embodiment except that a blackout-risk-data updating unit 61 that periodically and automatically updates registered information in the blackout risk DB 24 and in the consumer anti-blackout preparation DB 31 is provided outside the main block 1.

The blackout-risk-data updating unit 61 automatically updates the damage compensation amount at the time of a blackout which changes in accordance with, for example, a local development. More specifically, information relevant to a change in the blackout risk calculation condition, such as tenants currently occupying a local commercial facility, and a new construction of a hospital or a school, is acquired online through a communication line like the Internet from an organization like an autonomous community. As to the acquisition timing, a consumer may transmit data, or the blackout-risk-data updating unit 61 may periodically checks the data storage, and may update the data when there is a change in data contents. Hence, the registered information in the blackout risk DB 24 and in the consumer anti-blackout preparation DB 31 can be periodically updated to the latest information. In addition, an update plan that contains time information may be acquired from the consumer to update the data.

Advantageous Effects

According to the power generation plan creating system 50 of this embodiment, the blackout-risk-data updating unit 61 automatically updates the blackout risk information. Hence, when, for example, a hospital is newly constructed or when there is a change in tenants which are currently occupying a commercial facility, the damage compensation amount can be easily corrected.

Sixth Embodiment

Configuration

FIG. 9 illustrates a configuration of a power generation plan creating system according to a sixth embodiment. The same structural element as that of the above-explained embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numeral, and the duplicated explanation thereof will be omitted.

A power generation plan creating system 60 of this embodiment employs the same configuration as that of the power generation plan creating system 10 of the first embodiment except that, instead of the blackout risk DB 24, a terminal-system blackout risk DB 71 and a terminal-system consumer anti-blackout preparation DB 72 are provided outside the main block 1.

The terminal-system blackout risk DB 71 and the terminal-system consumer anti-blackout preparation DB 72 store registered information divided for each power transmission and for each terminal system that is opened/closed by a consumer terminal breaker of a power company. For example, data on the damage compensation amount for each blackout time is stored in the database and divided for each terminal system such that JP AA YEN/minute for a system A, JP BB YEN/minute for a system B, and JP CC YEN/minute for a system C.

Advantageous Effects

According to the power generation plan creating system 60 of this embodiment, since the blackout risk information is sorted for each terminal system, it becomes possible to create a power generation plan for each terminal system. Hence, when the power demand becomes urgent, an operation that can perform a load interruption on a terminal system in the order of a lower risk is enabled.
